physician profiling

Managed care A method of cost containment that focuses on the patterns of health care provided by a single physician or group, instead of on specific clinical decisions; the resulting profile is then compared to other norms based on practice–ie, other physicians' profiles or to standards of practice–practice guidelines. See DRGs, Shrinkage factor.
